LOL! Malt Liquor!!!! When I was in the Navy, I spent a hot afternoon drinking Colt 45 on the base. They brought me back to my quarters in the bed of a pickup truck.

Yes...ban THAT, at least!

Legalize pot and ban malt liquor = empty jails = not enough money for Prison Corporation of America. Wonder what money gets in what elected officials' pockets.

An interesting not. The town Barrow, Alaska banned liquor and the crime rate dropped 70%. Then some folk who wanted their wine with dinner got the law changed back. Perhaps their is a compromise, issue a drinking license like a driving license. If police arrest a drunk and disorderly, or a drunken domestic dispute, they confiscate the drinking license. Without it they would not be able to buy drink at a store or a bar. One week the first offense, one month the second, and a year for the third. This gets the drunks sober and allows the responsible to drink.
